Have you been wondering why your breath smells like acetone on keto? Or, maybe your breath smells like nail polish remover while on keto. Well, in this video I’m going to explain why this happens and what to do about keto breath. 


There are three types of ketones:

 • Beta-hydroxybutyrate 

 • Acetoacetate

 • Acetone


Acetone is the ketone that has the same chemistry as nail polish remover. If your body is making acetone from fat, it’s not toxic. However, if you consume acetone, it is very toxic. Consuming nail polish remover is not the same as going into ketosis. 

Acetone comes out of your breath while you’re still adapting to running on ketones. This can give you acetone breath on keto until you become fully keto-adapted. If your breath smells fruity or like nail polish remover, it’s a sign that you’re in ketosis. The smell is just temporary.


Benefits of ketosis:

 • Hunger goes down 

 • More weight loss

 • Decreased inflammation

 • Better blood sugar stabilization
